Be it known that I, MICHAEL WILSON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of'New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in \Vindow-Guards, of which the following is a specification;

The guard, the subject of this invention is intended to operate with and in conjunction with a movable sash ofa window and is further secured to the movable sash, but

in such a manner that it may be readily released and removed when its operation and the protection rendered by it are not desired.

A certain development ofthe principle I employed and certain of the devices here shown are more fully shown and explained in my application dated July 11,, 1917, under Serial No. 180,011. This present application shows a different development and one that may be preferred for certain reasons that will appear later, and in the specification which follows I will fully describe the construction and operation of my device.

The following is what I consider a good means of carrying out this invention and the accompanying drawings should be consid- 'ered for a complete understanding of the description which follows In the drawing,

Figure 1 shows a front elevation of my device in operable position.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my device, the window and casing being shown in section.

Fig. 3 shows a modification of a part,-

this figure is a fragmentary view.

Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all of the figures where they appear.

At 1, I show a portion of a window casing and at 2, the sill is shown in section.

Into each recess I insert a casting or fit-- ting 7 and8, and each casting or fitting is provided with ascrew-threadedlug 9. Thescrew-threaded rod 10 enters'from the top through a perforation in each side rail and the. lug 9.

Plates 11" and 12 recessed in the sash,

pass over the rods 10 and ball-nuts 13 and 14 are screw-threaded on the upper end of It will be noted that the casting or fit tings ,8 extend outward from the sash and downward toward the sill of the window and it will be further noted that each fitting 7 and 8 is provided with an eye 15 and 16.

From the eyes 15 and 16, I extend bar 17, each end of which is bent downward to be engaged in a second bar 18 and between bars 17 and 18 I secure a plurality of fillers or upright rods which more or less completely fill the space between the downwardly turned ends of the bar 17.

The bars 18 and 19 and the downwardly turned ends of the bar 17 enter the casing is by means of its'screw-threads engaged. in

the rods and'bear upon the plates 11 and 12.

or formed integral with the bar 21 enters the lock and is secured therein by the bolt of thelock 22.

As any type of lock 22 may be employed I do not attempt to show the construction or operation of the lock.

With the construction herein shown the guard frame may be readily detached from the window when desired while at the same time the location of the accessible members 13 and 14 of the attaching means of the frame at the top of the sash prevents an intruder from reaching the same by inserting his hand under the sash and through the bars of the frame.

* It willbe noted that the fitting s is protions may be made within the scope of theappended claims, without departing from V ends, brackets, lugs 011 the brackets adapted to enter the horizontal openings, and having apertures adapted to register with said bores, a window guard secured to the brackets and rods extending into the bores and through the lugs.

2. A combination with a vertically slidable window sash having longitudinal bores extending substantially through the stiles and horizontal openings near their lower 20 ends, brackets, lugs on the brackets adapted to enter the horizontal openings, said lugs having threaded openings therein for alining with the bores, and screw threaded rods extending through the bores and into the threaded openingsin the lugs.

Signed at New York city, in the county and State of New York, this 4th day of May, 1918. I V I V i -MICHAEL WILSON.
